snowisgood Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 That area looks pretty impressive right now. Northwest Arkansas is still real cloudy 70 degrees and climbing with a 66 dew point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Just a couple more questions... is there any sort of 'live chat' feature on the website where people discuss things in real time?! I always find the most interesting form of following the weather to be watching a live channel as they break things down in real time! Lastly, do we have any real time free radars? Not any live chats that I know of that are populated, and usually the ones that are are full of trolls. The best free "real-time" radar site is here: http://classic.wunderground.com/radar/map.asp Re: NAM Fire Nest, Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 ..ARKLATEX NEWD ACROSS MUCH OF AR/SRN MO THE RICHEST MOISTURE IN THE WARM SECTOR IS SPREADING INTO SRN AR AND NE TX BENEATH STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES PER 12Z SOUNDINGS. STRONG SURFACE HEATING EXPECTED ACROSS NRN LA AND SRN AR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WHERE UPPER 60S BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS AND AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES NEAR 80 F WILL SUPPORT MLCAPE OF 2500-3000 J/KG. THE N/NE EDGE OF THE STRONGER BUOYANCY /SW OF THE ONGOING WAA STORMS OVER E AND NE AR THIS MORNING/ WILL COINCIDE WITH STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND A 40-50 KT LLJ. IT APPEARS THAT THE EARLY PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTION IN NE TX/ERN OK WILL EVENTUALLY EVOLVE INTO WARM SECTOR SUPERCELLS THIS AFTERNOON...AS DESTABILIZATION PROCEEDS AND AS VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES IMPROVE WITH PASSAGE OF THE LEAD SHORTWAVE TROUGH THIS MORNING. A FEW STRONG/LONG-TRACK TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE SUPERCELLS...GIVEN EFFECTIVE SRH OF 300-400 M2/S2...MODERATE BUOYANCY...AND MOIST LOW LEVELS. A DISCRETE OR CLUSTER SUPERCELL MODE WILL LIKELY CONTINUE FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS AR...PROLONGING THE TORNADO AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK.

TheWeatherPimp Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Wow can't say I agree with the new outlook decision at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 By the way, more of the models are in agreement that the low level shear is going to be strong all throughout this afternoon in the main risk area, which means any early development will likely become just as potent.

PDUBRDU Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Does anyone think that a MDT risk will be issued for parts of NC this week, specifically Tuesday or Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Does anyone think that a MDT risk will be issued for parts of NC this week, specifically Tuesday or Wednesday? Potential is there, depending on evolution of previous convection/mesoscale features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Do you think PDS watches will be avoided too, with the latest update the way it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Do you think PDS watches will be avoided too, with the latest update the way it was? I have my doubts that the AR watch won't be a PDS, the wording in that outlook clearly suggests that it could be. You can still have PDS watches with moderates. Convection ahead of the dryline has basically completely broken up in TX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSUBlizzicane2007 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Just weird decisions all around by the SPC. I can maybe understand scaling back the moderate risk area for some parts of MO, but parts of central Arkansas at LEAST need to be under a high risk. This of course isn't to mention the lack of moderate risk from D3. It's like they are scared of busting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUGrad05 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 On a different note, DP's 75 mins ago at my house were down to 52, now according to mesonet back up to 61. Ambient temps back up 10 degrees from 57 to 67.... Makes me concerned for areas that will have more time to rebound before the DL passes their area.

That's what happens when you don't have a well-established cold pool. The unstable atmosphere rapidly readvects in, and you're back to square one.
